Using my phones translator function on this image, this is what comes up.

What on Earth is a "teaspag" that it put as the Scottish one?

(Although I zoomed at a different rate and tried again and then it read "bishops")

Teaspag is Irish Gaelic for bishop

Ai is reading the Gaelic poorly and misinterpreting it? Makes sense. But it supposedly translated words into English for me, not Irish.

So I started imagining that "teaspag" is is like a certain type of spag bol the Scots have with their tea.

I dunno how it translates french “fou” into “new”. “fou” means mad/crazy.

It mixed up umlauts on Hungarian:

  • Futó is the chess piece, it means runner.
  • Fűtő means heater. It's strange it hallucinated 3 extra accents.

Rikis was a name for an Old Prussian or Lithuanian leader or a noble person.
